Jasmine (Japanese: ミカン Mikan) is the Gym Leader of Olivine City's Gym, known officially as the Olivine Gym. Her specialty is Steel-type Pokémon, and she gives the Mineral Badge to Trainers who defeat her in battle. She also appears in Sinnoh to give Trainers HM07 (Waterfall) and to compete in Sinnoh's Super Contests.

In the games

Jasmine appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver as the Gym Leader of the Olivine Gym. Her title in these games is "The Steel-Clad Defense Girl." She also appears in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Jasmine is a very shy girl and has trouble speaking. She is a compassionate girl, and when the Ampharos in the Glitter Lighthouse (nicknamed Amphy) falls ill, Jasmine is so worried she cannot even smile. Amphy and Jasmine appear to be close, because once medicine is brought for Amphy, it will only take it from her.

Typically Jasmine is the sixth Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region, although she is the fifth to be encountered. When she is first met she will refuse to battle the player, as she is busy taking care of a sick Ampharos. She requests that a special medicine be brought from the Cianwood City pharmacy. When it is retrieved, she will heal the Ampharos and return to the Gym. In battle, she uses the newly-discovered Steel-type Pokémon, but it's said that she used to train a different type until recently. A Gentleman in the Lighthouse says she used to train Rock-type Pokémon, like Onix. Once defeated she will yield the Mineral Badge and TM23 (Iron Tail).

Ethan about to fight Jasmine in HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Jasmine can be fought multiple times in Saffron City's Fighting Dojo. She will use a stronger team here but will not appear until her Pokégear phone number has been obtained at the Olivine City diner. She goes there every afternoon, between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and will afterwards travel to Kanto for battles on Wednesday afternoons. After defeating Red, visiting Jasmine at her Gym in Olivine will cause her to offer to make a trade with the player. However, the player will need to talk to Jasmine a second time because she will be nervous. She offers a Steelix nicknamed Rusty (Japanese: ネール Neil) that holds a Soothe Bell. She will accept any Pokémon in exchange, being the first in-game trade where this is possible. Rusty isn't the same as her battling Steelix, as Rusty is male whereas the other is female.

Jasmine in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Jasmine is staying in Sunyshore City for a while, which she says reminds her of home with its lighthouse and its location on the sea. She also occasionally enters Super Contests with her Steelix, which is nicknamed Rusty. She gives the player HM07 (Waterfall) after defeating the eighth Gym Leader, Volkner. A conversation with Erika in HeartGold and SoulSilver places Jasmine's appearance in Sinnoh after the main plot of the Johto games.

In the anime

Jasmine in the Diamond & Pearl series.

Jasmine appeared in Fight for the Light, Nerves of Steelix and Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!.

In the anime, Jasmine runs the Glitter Lighthouse in Olivine City. She used her Ampharos to light the way over the shore, but when it became ill, she asked Ash to fetch it some medicine from Cianwood City. Ash and his friends retrieved the medicine and sent it back with one of Jasmine's young apprentices, Janina.

Several weeks later, Ash and his friends returned from the Whirl Islands and Ash challenged Jasmine to a Gym battle. Ash used Cyndaquil and was able to defeat Jasmine's Steelix.

Jasmine's first appearance

In her first appearance, Jasmine was closer to her game persona; gentle and soft-spoken. However, in her second appearance, Jasmine was markedly more confident, and even aggressive during the Gym battle. She made a powerful introduction, leaping from a cliff and gracefully landing on her Steelix. She was not afraid to take on Team Rocket, and was quite vocal in letting Ash know she wouldn't go easy on him during battle.

She reappeared in Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port! in her HeartGold and SoulSilver outfit, where she was having a special training session with Kenny. She later asked Flint if she could battle him and he accepted. The battle resulted in his Infernape knocking out her Steelix.

Pokémon

This is a listing of Jasmine's known Pokémon in the anime:

Magnemite

Debut	Fight for the Light!
Voice actors
Japanese	Unknown
English	Eric Stuart

Jasmine's Magnemite was seen for the first time in Fight for the Light!, riding on Jasmine's shoulder through the whole episode. It was also the first Pokémon that Jasmine used in her Gym battle with Ash in Nerves of Steelix!, sending it against Ash's Pikachu. Despite proving itself very fast and pretty strong, it was finally knocked out by Pikachu's Quick Attack.

Magnemite's only known move is Thunder Wave.

Steelix

Debut	Nerves of Steelix!
Voice actors
Japanese	Unshō Ishizuka
English	Unshō Ishizuka

Main article: Jasmine's Steelix

Steelix is Jasmine's main Pokémon. It was seen for the first time in Nerves of Steelix!, when Jasmine used it to stop Team Rocket's Wobbuffet mecha and send them blasting off.

In the lighthouse

Sparkle

Debut	Fight for the Light!

Main article: Amphy

While it is never explicitly stated that Sparkle belongs to Jasmine, the young Gym Leader cares for the Glitter Lighthouse's Ampharos as she does in the games. It illuminates the Glitter Lighthouse to prevent ships and airplanes from crashing.

It first appeared sick, as Amphy does in the games. Ash, his friends, and Jasmine's assistant Janina traveled to Cianwood City to get a medicine to heal Sparkle. When Ash returned to challenge Jasmine, Sparkle had been cured, but was not used in battle.

It later appeared in one of Lyra's presentations about the Johto region in An Egg Scramble!.

Jasmine and her Steelix (right) with Janine and her Ariados (left)

Jasmine initially left her Gym to see Togebo, the Egg of her two Togetic that Gold hatched for her. However, on her way Jasmine was caught in an earthquake caused by Team Rocket while traveling through Ecruteak City. Gold was to journey there to help her as instructed by the elderly couple at the Day Care. She had climbed the Tin Tower to get away from the shaking and had been caught in some rubble. Using Ampharos to send off a distress flare, she caught the attention of both Gold and Silver. Silver originally saved her, but Gold believed that Silver had in some way contributed to her injuries. Silver handed her over to Gold and was later given to Amphy, who rushed her out of the tower under Gold's orders before it collapsed, leaving the young rivals trapped in the tower.

Jasmine later managed to recover, unaware of Gold and Silver's efforts to rescue her (as she had not the consciousness to have any memory of the events). At the Pokémon League Tournament, she fought against Brock. She covered her Steelix in rubble to make it look like an Onix, thinking that the newly-discovered Steel Pokémon would be too horrifying for people to see. Steelix's type advantage gave it away, and the rubble was eventually cleared off to reveal her Steelix's nature. She later reasoned that she doesn't like to show off.

Jasmine once specialized in Rock-type Pokémon before Crystal and Professor Oak discovered Steel-type Pokémon.

Jasmine's two Togetic are the parents of Gold's Togebo.

In Perturbed by Pachirisu, Jasmine appears briefly in the background with Fantina, entering the Master Rank Super Contest.

Pokémon

This listing is of Jasmine's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Onix → Steelix

Debut	Capital Kabutops

Main article: Jasmine's Steelix

Jasmine disguised her Steelix as an Onix when it first appeared as she did not want to show off. It was used in the Gym Leaders' Tournament against Brock's Onix, its pre-evolved form. Although Steelix's hide was revealed, it was able to defeat Onix with a Crunch attack.

Togetic (×2)

Debut	Gligar Glide

This couple formed by a male and a female Togetic gave birth to Togebo.

Magneton (×2)

Debut	Capital Kabutops!

These two Magneton were briefly seen with Jasmine's other Pokémon while she was choosing. They were also seen with her during the city-wide quake in Ecruteak City.

Amphy

Debut	Ampharos Amore

Main article: Amphy

Amphy was used against Brock's Kabutops and was quickly subdued despite the type advantage, forcing her to switch Pokémon. It is also Jasmine's Lighthouse Pokémon, and assisted her in escaping the Bell Tower.

In the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga

Jasmine first appears in A Spectacular Battle To Save Ampharos informing Gold that their battle is canceled due to the fact that her Ampharos is sick. Later, when Gold was battling Black's Gyarados in order for him to borrow Gyarados, she takes Gold's place and defeats Steelix, only for Steelix to be far too powerful against the atrocious Pokémon.
